Dolly Parton Backs Elle King After Seemingly Drunk Opry Performance: 'She Felt Worse Than Anybody'

Dolly Parton showed her support for Elle King after the latter appeared to perform drunk at a special Parton tribute concert last month.

The concert, as is typical for the Grand Ole Opry, was broadcast live on 650 AM WSM, and the station reportedly received a number of complaints about King’s performance. King has since postponed a bunch of scheduled tour dates for February, though she’s yet to release any kind of public statement. She’s currently scheduled to return to the stage on March 1 for an appearance at Tempe, Arizona’s baseball-themed Extra Innings Fest.
